Love to see photos of the underside. If it was driven in winter in NY it's gotta be all rusted.

For sure it's not squeaky clean under there. You can see some rust in places under the hood, but for about $7k, you could still drive around looking cool for a few years.

$4-5k and I'd rock it. That thing looks like it'll need some immediate attention. Which with me... always snowballs into thousands for parts/upgrades.

So these cars are just cheap because they come from places that salt roads? I mean they have to have some major problem at those prices. Especially for that Imola car.

Not necessarily. Check out BaT and C&B. The market for E53s isn't that high. I think an 8k mile 4.8is went for 40k.

Can't believe someone is asking that much for a car in that condition. I would MAYBE pay $2k. People have to stop watching the news about the used car market. The bottom is about to fall out of it, so be patient out there!

Depends. That's pretty low miles for a car that old. If it has lived in TX it's whole life then it won't be a rust bucket. Looks pretty clean. My only concern would be the valve stem seals and the crossover coolant pipe. Those are probably close to going.
